Insurances accepted
Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.
Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice.
Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

Patients appreciate
Dr. Casey Cates receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients, with the vast majority of reviews awarding 4.5 stars or higher. Patients consistently praise his excellent bedside manner, describing him as kind, patient, and compassionate. Many reviewers specifically highlight his communication skills, noting that he thoroughly explains diagnoses, treatment options, and procedures in terms that are easy to understand, and that he takes time to answer questions without rushing. Numerous patients also commend his surgical skill, particularly for ankle, femur, and other orthopedic procedures, with several calling him a gifted or excellent surgeon. His attentiveness and follow-up care after surgery were also frequently mentioned as reassuring aspects of the patient experience, along with positive comments about his supporting staff, including his PAs.
Patients also share
Opportunities for improvement are difficult to identify from the reviews, as feedback is almost universally positive. One review, while still praising his bedside manner and communication, gave a notably lower rating (2.4 stars) without providing specific critical comments, making it unclear what fell short in that particular experience. Beyond this isolated case, there are no recurring or specific complaints about wait times, staff interactions, or clinical outcomes mentioned in the reviews.
